Navila 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Navila, and I look forward to working with you! I’m a sophomore in college studying psychology with hopes of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist. I really love working with kids and have gained a lot of experience over the years. I’ve worked as a camp counselor for two summers, the first summer working with a group of ages 5-6 and the second with a group of 8-9 year olds. I’ve also au paired in Berlin from September 2025 to January 2026 for a family with two boys ages 4 and 7, where I helped with daily routines and activities. I’m responsible, patient, and easy to get along with.

“Navila was lovely. Super responsive and kind. She arrived on time and kept my two girls engaged. Highly reccommend her!”

Arianna 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Arianna, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I am offering child care services. I have been working with children since I was 16 years old, caring for ages ranging from 3 months and older. My experience includes caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. In addition to my childcare experience, I continuously volunteer with children at my church, caring for and engaging with infants, toddlers, and older children. Most recently, I worked with my professor’s 5-year-old child for a semester, where I assisted with daily care, activities, homework, and supervision. I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. In addition to child care, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, meal preparation, and running errands. I am CPR certified and currently in the process of obtaining my EMT license, which has further strengthened my commitment to safety and caregiving. I am reliable, compassionate, and dedicated to providing excellent care, and I look forward to supporting your family’s needs. 😊😊

“Arianna has worked with my family a few times in the past. She is a responsible, considerate babysitter. My children were very fond of her. She was especially proficient with my 7 month old during the more hectic holiday seasons, and my toddler was absolutely smitten with her. She always kept them occupied and engaged with healthy activities, such as, taking them to the park or interactive exhibits around the city. Her experience as a babysitter for many years really shined through with the way she managed and took care of the kids and their environment. I never had to worry about them being glued to their screens whenever she was around! She was also very open to communication and feedback from my husband and I, though we rarely had anything but praise to give her. She was always professional, on time, and very reliable, and trustworthy. I would definitely recommend her to other parents in need of childcare!!”

Chloe 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families!! My name is Chloe I am 23 years old and I am looking to be your sitter. I have been babysitting for over 10 years with experience in ages ranging from 2-14! I’ve also spent four years as a lead camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising groups, planning activities, and creating a fun, safe, and inclusive environment. Whether it’s keeping toddlers engaged, helping with homework, or organizing creative activities, I aim to make every child feel supported and cared for. In addition to childcare, I also offer cat sitting, pet sitting, and help with general household chores. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and proactive—I always try to anticipate needs and make parents’ lives a little easier. I take pride in being someone families can truly trust and rely on.

“Chloe is very reliable, professional, and capable. She has frequently watched my three kids, and the kids always have a blast. She is very conscientious and keeps the kids occupied. She has also done chores for me around the house, and I have been quite pleased with her work. Highly recommend.”

$27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Harrison, NJ

Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’m an experienced nanny and certified public school teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in private homes and schools. I worked as a nanny while earning a B.A. in French Language and Literature in Philadelphia and again during an M.Ed program in Austin. For the last three years, I’ve worked as a French teacher both for elementary and high school students. I’m now nannying again, as well as tutoring in French. I am seeking a stable (< 30 hrs/week) nannying position, as well as occasional work, where I can become a reliable, supportive presence in a family’s life. My favorite part of this job is bonding with kids and their families. I am still in touch with many of the families I’ve worked with and really value those connections! I speak French and have lived and studied in France twice, so I would love to work with a francophone family.

“Audrey looked after our 7mo old for a whole day, and was fantastic. They went out to story time at the library, walked in the park, and generally kiddo was super happy on our return. Very professional, experienced working with kids, and easy to deal with. Would absolutely book again.”

Madisyn $20 per hour for 1 child

I have over seven years of experience working with children in both childcare and educational settings. Working with kids has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love being able to support their growth while creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I began my childcare journey in 2019 as a Summer Camp Counselor with the YMCA while I was in high school, where I worked with children through 2024. In 2022, I started working in the YMCA’s aftercare program and remained there until January 2026. During my time with the YMCA, I gained valuable experience planning activities, supervising children, and helping them build confidence, friendships, and social skills. In 2024, I joined ESS as a paraprofessional, where I worked exclusively with children with learning and behavioral disabilities. This role strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized support to help each child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. I remained with ESS until July 2026. In February 2026, I began working at a private school, where I continue to expand my experience in education and childcare. Throughout my career, I have worked with children ranging in age from 3 to 10 years old. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I understand that every child has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to create a positive, engaging, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply being a trusted and caring presence, I am committed to providing the best possible care for every child and peace of mind for every parent.

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
